'He will be here next year' - Arsenal exit for 'animal' Sanchez ruled out by Wenger

The Chilean scored the winner against Manchester City to earn the praise of his manager, who remains adamant that no summer transfer will be done

Arsene Wenger hailed Alexis Sanchez as "an animal" after he scored an extra-time winner in Arsenal's FA Cup semi-final victory over Manchester City and insisted the forward will stay at the Emirates Stadium next season.

Sanchez struck in the 101st minute at Wembley on Sunday, sealing the Gunners' comeback after Nacho Monreal had equalised following Sergio Aguero's opener.

The Chile international is facing an uncertain future with Arsenal given his contract is due to expire in 2018 and talks over a renewal are on hold until the end of the season.
